Mr Michael Anagnos was the director of the Perkins Institution for the Blind in Boston during Helens formative years. He was the one who had found Miss Sullivan as a teacher and companion for Helen. After Helen had joined the Perkins Institution, he became a good friend of hers. Helen dedicated things she wrote to him during those years. However, a breach in their friendship came with The Frost King episode. After Helen was accused of plagiarism for her story, he terminated their friendship. Even though he had known her for years, he failed to understand that Helen had not intentionally copied the story in order to please him. Later, however, after the publication of The Story of My Life,Mr. Anagnos wrote to the editor claiming that he had been a supporter of Helen during her investigation and trial. The friendship, however, was never restored.

Nonetheless, during the times when they were close friends, he had helped Helen in all possible ways, encouraging her and providing her with books in raised prints.
